Flurry, Fiesta, Fantastic

No matter what, it always seems like my life is crazy busy. Each week seems to pass in a flurry, but each moment is filled with wonderful things. I'm learning to enjoy every moment and make sure I intentionally stop and simply enjoy being amidst the flurry of insanity.

This weekend I made 2 puzzles with friends. I really enjoy puzzling and it's a great way to just hang out with people and chat. So here's a couple of pictures of the puzzles we made. Made me think of my life as a puzzle. Each moment is a piece and sometimes I know instantly where that piece goes and sometimes I stare at it having absolutely no clue where it could possibly fit. Yet, in the end, each piece connects perfectly and a beautiful picture emerges. Love it! :)


On Saturday, our church put on a Mexican Fiesta as a fundraiser for their Mexico Missions trip. They've been going for about 10 years now I think. I was in charge of the craft station for the kids' fiesta which was super fun. We made little sombreros which was great! I was too busy wiping glue off the tables for the next group to take too many pics.. so you will just have to imagine some amazingly crafted sombreros. :) And I"m actually going to Mexico with my church this summer too! I'm pretty excited about it actually! We're building 3 houses and well, i have absolutely no clue how to build a house, but I'm excited to go serve in whatever way possible!

And Canucks playoff fever has begun again! My brother and I went to the first game on Thursday and we won! Yay! And we twirled our towels around enthusiastically for every goal we scored! Actually, I think I am the Canucks' good luck charm, because this year, they have won every game I have gone to as long as I'm wearing my jersey. I couldn't be there on Saturday, and therefore they lost. Go figure. I should probably fly down to LA just to help the team out.. (well i have thought about it...)


Woooh!! Go towel power!! This pic was taken in a rush after we scored the winning goal! Great game to be at! :)

Pic of all the towels laid out on the chairs. Wouldn't that be a fun job to have?
The rest of my weekend was great! Even went swimming outside for the first time this year-delightful! And did laundry too! Still waiting for my washer and dryer to walk themselves into my basement so I can do laundry at my house for the first time since August... I'm hoping one of these days a couple of strapping, strong young men will show up at my door to carry them down. haha

And because I haven't had a countdown in a while, here goes some things I'm excited for coming up:

4 months until Desiree's wedding!
3 months until Mexico!
60 days until Bridgid's wedding!
45 days until going to Calgary for Jacquelyn's wedding!
40 days until roadtrip to the island for Alex and Ryan's wedding!
38 days until I get to go see one of my fave musicals in Seattle!
12 days until roadtrip to Kelowna for Carrie's wedding!

I think there will be a lot more random adventures mixed in there, but that's that for now! :)
